General Discussions

I strongly suggest you have a chat with someone who has successfully and happily (often the case) transitioned to their wanted gender. And really listen to what they went through in their life and why.

Baggers, you've made an assumption.  How do you know i haven't?  I'm sensitive enough to the plight of these people to discuss this stuff on an anonymous forum, rather than actually have that discussion and try and break a person's world in front of them.

The reality is that there is no objective way to really prove that a person was born in the wrong body, because the only thing that separates a man and a woman is biology.

Think about it, what does it mean to be a woman vs a man?

Its not about interests, its not about attire, its not about clothing, its not about behaviour, it's not about sexual orientation, it's not about jobs, its not about anything.  Every thing that is male or female is simply a gender construct.  Even trans is a construct.

Dani Laidley doesn't prove anything.  None of the famous athletes that transition proves anything.  All it shows is that societal trends are changing and these people are unhappy with their identity and looking to change it.

Id rather ask why they're unhappy and not look for a "gender disphoria" diagnosis.  Id rather understand why they're unhappy and highlight that becoming transgender won't change their biological make up.  Accepting that its not changing is part of the healing process that isn't happening IMHO.  its all very symptomatic of a society that is breeding a "ill get what I want thanks" mentality.
